Swarm is an XBLA game Derek and I played at PAX East. To quickly sum up Swarm it’s like a platformer combined with Pikmin and Lemmings.

A few days ago, my boyfriend downloaded a new XBLA (also available for PS3 network) game called Costume Quest. I watched him play a little bit, then I decided not to watch any further, because the game looked so darn cute and fun that I wanted to play it later by myself. He loved the game, and wrote a review on his blog. When he [...]
